When I start ebuild /var/lib/db/pkg/dev-db/postgresql-8.0.1-r4/postgresql-8.0.1-r4 config all seems ok expect: Loading pg_description... FATAL Invali memorry alloc request size 4294967292 and exit code 1 initdb removing contents of data directory "/Var/lib/postgresql/data" I am running Gentoo on HP9000 (7300cl) Any ideas?
no idea about hppa.. I'm ccing hansmi@gentoo.org who marks hppa on postgresql ebuild. (if hppa herd is better, please reassign)
This was because that version of SQL doesn't have the TEST_AND_SET definition for hppa thus it uses IPC. In your case you are running out of shared memory. This can be tweaked in some /proc variables. If it's not already done, please upgrade to the current stable.
